Order to delivery time

We order s model from Jake Sweeney in kentucky on 1/7/22 and dealer tells us that Kia is currently building November orders. Hear so many different stories on here that what dealer tells us
We ordered around the same time from Sweeny and haven't got an update. Have you head anything different?
I have literally heard crickets except for a monthly email stating no update.

That's FUNNY!!!! I don't even get an email update. I have reached out to my dealer each month with very little update.

Ordered mine from Jake Sweeney too. I ordered on Dec. 16, 2021. I have been reaching out monthly to my sales person (After being told it would be 3-4 months). He seems to be getting upset with me, but he has not been keeping me informed about anything (Even if it is to reach out on a monthly basis to tell me it has not been picked up by Kia yet). Still waiting to hear from them.
 
Crazy times we are living in. Interest rates keeps climbing. New auto loans will be 7+% when I finally get my vehicle. Smh

Picked up my Glacial White Pearl 2022 AWD with N/T/P on Thur 7/14.
Ordered 4/10/22
ETA mid September
2nd ETA August
3rd ETA July
Saw on Failcat 7/12
At dealer 7/13
paid 3995 markup and way too many fees.

Super happy with it so far except the rattle in the ceiling around the lights. Dealership is going to fix on Thursday. Said they had seen it once before.
 
I am getting so frustrated! I ordered 1/25/2022. Have been very patient until now. My VIN number showed up in Failcat 6/18 with an initial eta of 7/6/2022. I know the eta can change multiple times but I am seeing car after car after car being delivered to my dealer that the VIN was created well after mine. Someone give me words of encouragement that I will see my Telluride delivered soon. 😩
 
Did you ask them to track your vin for you on this forum?

Yes. It has been tracked twice and just new eta was given. Apparently it is in PA (port allocated) status

So your eta was from here, not your dealer?

Dealer gave me original eta. Last week they said they have seen orders in PA status ship without changing status. They said they don’t know why it is taking so long.
 
Has anyone on here ordered from Smail Kia in Greensburg, PA? I ordered 5/14/22. They told me 4 to 6 months.

FYI ... more than likely you are going to get a 2023.

Picked up today! I'd recommend Javi at Sterling Kia in Bryan/College Station. Pretty solid experience overall, and just a hair over 5 months from order to delivery.

No updates from sales here either, I reach out every few weeks and get the same old no update yet. last month he did tell me that they kia was filling November orders but I see on here that some say they ordered after ours and are getting vins already. This is by far the most frustrating car buying experience.

Without knowing what you ordered, that makes sense. Let's say a dealer gets 1 S, 2 LX's 3 EX's and 7 SX's a month. If you are 50th in line for a SX and someone is 5th for an LX and ordered after you, they will get theirs first.

What determines what they get each month? I think if they would tell customer more about how the allocations and orders are handed out then it would not be near as frustrating.

An algorithm does that. You can get a historic view of your dealer by looking at failcat. The dealer should also know their upcoming allocations. It's up to them if they want to make that knowledge public. Your dealer has received 10 S's this year, where they have received about 80 SX's, 25 EX's and 5 LX's. Probably SX's ordered after you are being fulfilled before you. All of this information is available in failcat
 
My wait is finally over! Going to pick up my 2022 Telluride EX gravity gray with gray leather and tow package Monday. Ordered 1/25/2022, picked up by factory in April, failcat 6/18. First eta 7/6.

A few add-ons that were ordered didn’t make it onto the vehicle but not too upset about that.

Never thought this day would get here!

Congrats. So exciting.
I just picked up the same color scheme. You will love it.
